Bike doesn’t look 100% new
This was the 2nd bike we have purchased from guardian bikes. They come promptly and are easy to assemble. This one has some cosmetic problems that the first didn’t have. It appears maybe it was returned/exchanged. I didn’t have time to swap it out before my daughters birthday so I guess we’ll just have to live with it.
Guardian Bikes
Hi Jeffrey, Guardian Bikes here. I am so sorry to hear your bike arrived with some cosmetic damage! This is certainly not the experience we want for our customers as every bike should arrive in perfect condition. I want to reassure you that this was definitely not a returned bike. As per our return policy, we instruct our customers to donate their bikes to local charities in their areas. Therefore, we don't have customers send bikes back to us and even if we did we would not repackage them and sell them as "new" bikes. We're here to help and would certainly love the opportunity to help change this negative experience into a more positive one for you. Please reach us at info@guardianbikes.com. We'll make this right! Thanks, Amber @ Guardian Bikes
Great bike, came scratched
The bike is great, but when you spend $400 and it’s a gift, you expect it coming in perfect condition. There was a 1” x 1” scratch and a smaller one about 1/4” x 1/4” below it. There was also a scratch near the reflector, fortunately I could cover that up with the reflector. Customer service quickly addressed the issue, with a small percent refunded, but the bottom line is, I had to give a very expensive gift that was damaged.

Hi Catherine, thank you for the feedback. All of our bikes should arrive in perfect shape. I am so sorry this is not the experience you had. Please send me an email at info@guardianbikes.com and I will take care of you. :) Best, Dafene
Out of the box
Everything fine except scratches on right side rear wheel ‘fork’. Looked as it was rubbed against something hard to take the paint off.
Guardian Bikes
Hi, So sorry your bike was scratched in shipping. Please reach out to us at info@guardianbikes.com. We will take care of you. Best, Sam
A little disappointed
Shipping and bike appearance was good. The derailleur was out of adjustment causing the chain to come off into the spokes, when shifting to 1st gear. Not a huge deal but very disappointing for my granddaughter who was excited to ride.
Guardian Bikes
Hi Ronald, Thank you for letting us know. Please send us an email at info@guardianbikes.com. We will cover the cost to repair the derailleur. Your bike comes with a comprehensive warranty. We are here for you. Have a great day!
Too small for Age recs
Ordered the 10-14 year old bike for my 11 year old. It is a tiny bike that is already too small for him. It’s well made but sizing is way off. Originally it arrived without pedals and he was so disappointed not to be able to use it right away. Customer service quickly sent some, and he can ride the bike but it’s ridiculously small for him already. It’s more suited to my 7 year old.
